    The team paddock workhorse — room for everything you need

    3x6m Race Tent — Professional Folding Canopy for Motorsport

    The Elite Pro 3x6m race tent is one of our best-selling sizes, trusted by competitive karting teams and racing operations worldwide. Whether you call it a race tent 6x3 or a 3x6 race tent, this folding canopy delivers generous covered space without the cost and complexity of a full race awning.

    With 18 square metres of sheltered area, the 3x6m tent accommodates multiple karts, a full workbench setup, tool cabinets, spare tyres, and team seating — everything a professional race team needs for a weekend at the circuit.

    Despite its generous footprint, the 3x6m maintains the same quick-deploy concertina frame mechanism as our smaller tents. One person can have it erected in under five minutes with no tools, and it packs down into the included trolley bag (180×45×40cm, 38kg) for practical transport.

    The heavy-duty aluminium alloy frame features six legs with adjustable heights for levelling on uneven surfaces. Reinforced locking brackets at every joint ensure the structure remains rigid and stable in winds up to moderate speeds when properly anchored.

    Like all Elite Pro tents, the 3x6m is available with full dye-sublimation custom printing on roof panels, valances, and sidewalls. Your team colours, logos, and sponsor branding are reproduced with precision Pantone matching and fade-proof permanence.

    The 3x6m is the go-to choice for karting teams running two or three karts, motorcycle racing teams, and club-level car racing teams. It strikes the perfect balance between coverage and portability — big enough to feel professional, small enough for one person to manage.

    Why Choose a 3x6 Race Tent?

    Choosing the right race tent size is one of the most important decisions for any motorsport team. The 3x6m format has become the most popular choice among solo karting competitors and single-car racing teams — and for good reason.

    At 18 square metres, a 3x6 race tent is ideal for a 1–2 kart setup. You get enough length to park your kart on its stand while still leaving room alongside for a full-width workbench, tool trolley, spare tyres, and a fuel station. Many teams also fit a small seating area at one end for drivers and mechanics to debrief between sessions.

    Compare that to a 3x3m race tent: while the 3x3 is excellent for ultra-compact pit lane setups, it simply doesn't provide enough depth for a complete working paddock environment. You'll find yourself choosing between sheltering the kart or having workspace — not both. Teams that start with a 3x3 frequently upgrade to a 3x6 within their first season.

    On the other end of the scale, a 4x8m tent offers massive coverage but is overkill for solo teams. The additional width and length add significant weight and packed size, making transport and setup harder. The 3x6 keeps things manageable: one person can set it up in under 5 minutes without any tools, and it fits into a standard trolley bag that slides into most van boots or trailer compartments.

    The 3x6 race tent also provides the ideal width for adding sidewalls and creating a semi-enclosed paddock garage. With optional printed sidewalls, you get wind protection, privacy for setup adjustments, and a professional branded appearance that stands out on the paddock — all without needing a crew to assemble it.
